It's so interesting to see that people in the affected communities finally feel empowered to speak out and make their opinions heard. For years and years Universal Medicine managed to suppress most of the negative opinions online and within those communities by harassing, bullying and aggressively combating any "detractors". On the Frome facebook group there was indeed a lively debate and it was noticeable how the usually so vocal UM student body was just...absent. Not a word from any member of their addressable communities or social media "spheres" (that's what they call their little online groups where they discuss and organise their recruitment and infiltration strategies), they have all gone into hiding and they are no doubt waiting for the storm to pass. Not exactly the outcome Serge had in mind when he tried to silence Esther Rockett the "cyber bully" and I can't help but to feel huge relief and a little bit of schadenfreude.
